She was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She lost to Algore, because he showed a slide show.

.

Nobel peace prize committee admitted this????????
They determined the prize simply due to a slide show?
I find this hard to believe

Seems like the Nobel today is in the same category as a degree from Phoenix.


Same group that gave the prize to Obama. Same Obama who in 2008 dropped a bomb on someone every 20 minutes in average, all year.

U of Phoenix? More like The Art Institutes.
The President is a fink.

Why was the Senator from Illinois able to drop bombs on people?!?!? Surely this is the biggest unreported scandal in history!

The Peace Prize is a mandatory award under totally different rules than the other prizes awarded by the King of Sweden pursuant to the last will and testament of Alfred Nobel. The prize fund is administered in Philadelphia and the financial advisors have never charged any fees or commissions to it.

Was Obama the first person awarded the peace
prize who never actually did one thing to make
the world a more peaceful place, and waged
war the whole time he was in office?

You caught me. It was in 2016 he bombed but the award was for the year 2008/9.

Hot damn, Kid Rock is running for the
senate in my state, against Dem
Debbie Blabbermouth. He's a real
gun nut and smart as a whip. And
he's best friends with the Motor
City Madman, Ted Nugent, another
gun lover.

“Do you need to have one for protection?” Kid Rock responded, “I need to have one. When I go to Detroit, I am never in Detroit without my gun. Ever. Right by my side–loaded, ready.” Morgan added, “And you wouldn’t hesitate to use it?” to which Kid Rock replied, “No, not at all.”
“Why do you trust 315 million other Americans to be safe with them?” (guns)

Kid Rock simply smiled and said, “‘Cause I got one.”

How were you involved? You seem to indicate you had influence.

I'd like to think the Nobel people were chagrined to see what happened with the drones subsequent to the award, but I wonder. White people in general were very prone to delusional worship of the man, perhaps they stayed in denial. Obama himself was flummoxed about getting the prize and said so more than once.
